Halfway through, Xu Chu couldn't hold back his curiosity. He looked at Lu Xuan and asked with a serious look: "The king said that he would open an altar to practice the ritual. Do you really know how to do it?"
Lu Xuan chuckled twice, shook his head and said: "You also saw the hot air balloon thing. This is the golden-armored magic weapon summoned by this king. How can I open an altar to do this? It's just to scare Xia Houyuan."
"That's right, I forgot about it."
Xu Chu smiled innocently, with a bright smile on his face.
Lu Xuan went straight back to the army and went directly to the place where the soldiers were making hot air balloons. Gan Ning was supervising. Because the soldiers who made the balloons were all experienced, simpler procedures were left to ordinary soldiers.
Everything is being prepared in full swing.
Gan Ning saw Lu Xuan coming and quickly stood up to salute, but Lu Xuan waved his hand to stop him.
Lu Xuan looked around, then waved to Gan Ning, led Gan Ning out, and said: "Xingba, regarding the launch of the hot air balloon the day after tomorrow, I went to test Yangping Pass guard Xia Houyuan and got an idea.
Suddenly, I thought of an arrangement."
Gan Ning cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Lu Xuan said: "In front of Xia Houyuan, I said that the morning after tomorrow, I would open an altar in front of all Cao's soldiers and summon magic soldiers to fall from the sky. Moreover, I specially exaggerated that they were golden armor magic soldiers to intimidate
Xia Houyuan’s people.”
"My king's words have reached the tower of Yangping Pass. Both Xia Houyuan and other ordinary soldiers have heard it."
"The first reaction in these people's hearts must be disbelief, because it has never happened before. However, it is said that Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road in the past could spread beans and make soldiers, so if such rumors spread, even if Xia Houyuan and others did not believe it, they still felt in their hearts
Will murmur and doubt."
"So early in the morning the day after tomorrow, I want to create the effect of a golden armored magic weapon."
Lu Xuan said: "Under the premise of my method of opening the altar, the divine soldiers descending from the sky will definitely shake the defenders of Yangping Pass, making people's hearts turbulent and losing their fighting spirit. Only then will Xia Houyuan be attacked from both inside and outside."
After Gan Ning heard this, he quickly said: "What the king means is to smear gold powder on the soldiers' armor. Then all the soldiers will be shining with gold, like gods in golden armor."
Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Xingba will be revealed once you are done with it."
Gan Ning quickly said: "Your Majesty's arrangement is not difficult. The general will start arranging it immediately. Moreover, we will attack early in the morning. When the sun rises, hot air balloons will take off one by one. The sun will shine on the soldiers, making them even more golden.
, extremely shocking.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "In that case, you can make arrangements."
"Here!"
Gan Ning answered with cupped fists.
After Lu Xuan made arrangements, he returned to the Chinese army's tent to rest. What he had to do now was to wait. Although such waiting put great pressure on the Fa Zheng guarding Nanzheng, there was nothing he could do about it.
As long as Lu Xuan captures Yangping Pass before Cao Cao attacks Nanzheng, Lu Xuan's army can march straight in, and they can attack Cao Cao together with Fazheng and Zhao Yun.
By then, Cao Cao was completely in decline.
Although Lu Xuan was worried, he could only leave everything to Fazheng and Zhao Yun. He could only choose to trust them.
While Lu Xuan was waiting, the fighting in Nanzheng was extremely fierce.
Cao Cao sent troops to attack continuously, causing countless losses to the Nanzheng defenders. Fortunately, Cao Cao issued an order to loot and massacre. Although Cao Cao's order mobilized the Qingzhou soldiers and other Cao Cao troops, it greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Nanzheng defenders.
.
Under the command of Zhao Yun, the Nanzheng defenders resisted desperately. The people in the city continued to rush to help, sending food and carrying defensive materials. The young and strong people of Nanzheng did not wait for Zhao Yun's order to join the battle, and took the initiative to join the battle with weapons.
.
As a result, Cao Cao's attacks failed.
Cao Cao was anxious. He knew that if he did not capture Nanzheng, his invasion of Shu would be a joke, so he ordered a fierce attack. In such a stalemate of attack and defense, time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the day came when Lu Xuan was preparing to attack.
.
At dawn in the morning, Lu Xuan came to Jia Xu to learn about the weather and calculated today's wind direction. The wind direction had not changed in the past few days, and it was still blowing from the northwest, which was suitable for the launch and transportation of hot air balloons.
Lu Xuan is ready.
He did not wear ordinary clothes, but instead wore a black Taoist robe and a purple gold lotus crown on his head.
Of course, the performances that should be included are indispensable.
When Lu Xuan was about to set off, Gan Ning came to Lu Xuan's side, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. All the soldiers are wearing golden armor and are already standing in the hanging basket."
"All the hot air balloons have been ignited and can be released from the ropes at any time. Now, we are waiting for you to set off. When the time comes for you to finish the exercise, along with your orders to beat the drums and blow the trumpets, the general will order the release of the hanging baskets, and the hot air balloons will be released one by one.
It will take off quickly."
Lu Xuan nodded and asked again: "Have you checked everything?"
"Checked!"
Gan Ning nodded solemnly once again.
He looked expectantly and said in a deep voice: "In this attack, the last generals, Xu Chu and Zhang Ren, will join the battle and attack Yangping Pass first."
Lu Xuan nodded, stopped lingering, and walked towards Yangping Pass with his soldiers. When Lu Xuan arrived outside Yangping Pass, the sky was bright, but the sun was about to rise at the moment and had not fully risen.
In the open space outside Yangping Pass, a high platform was built, which was nine feet high and divided into three floors. Around the high platform, there were many horn soldiers and drummers, and many flags were erected.
These were all recruited by Lu Xuan.
After Lu Xuan appeared, he walked to the stage and immediately attracted the attention of Xia Houyuan, Ding Xiao, and the soldiers on the tower of Yangping Pass.
Countless soldiers saw Lu Xuan dressed up as a Taoist priest.
Xia Houyuan had a bad premonition in his heart, and he always felt that Lu Xuan was not simple. However, Xia Houyuan did not show any timidity. Yangping Pass was right here, and even if Lu Xuan had conspiracies, he was not afraid.
Xia Houyuan rolled his eyes, and he asked loudly: "Lu Xuan, do you really want to open a forum to practice magic and confuse the public with your lies? Let me tell you, you are deceiving yourself and others with such methods."
"Just because you want to summon the golden-armored magic weapon to fall from the sky is simply overestimating your ability. There are no golden-armored magic weapons or gods in the world. You are just pretending to be a god."
Lu Xuan stood on the stage with a solemn expression and did not answer Xia Houyuan's words. At this moment, Lu Xuan, with thick black hair, wearing a black robe, holding a sword, worshiped the gods of various places on the stage.
His actions are extremely solemn.
His expression is solemn and solemn.
There was silence all around, which made Lu Xuan's actions on the stage to worship become inexplicably sacred.
